Advances in Ultrasound

Dear Colleagues,

There has been significant progress and growth in ultrasound imaging physics and techniques. Ultrasound imaging is a useful method not only for diagnosis, but also for follow-up with treatment or rehabilitation; for characterizing tissues in several conditions, namely in athlete performance or pathologic conditions; and for guiding targeted treatment. Ultrasound imaging continues to have a significant impact on clinical diagnosis, intervention, and the morphological and physiological characterization of tissues, helping with investigations in many fields due to the development of new procedures, techniques, and devices. Due to the ongoing search for methods to improve ultrasound diagnosis and the performance of image-guided therapy, we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Diagnostics that is devoted to ultrasound imaging and therapy for medical and clinical research purposes.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
